Chapter Ninety-Two: Material Selection
Yu Xiaotian didn't expect that they were just here to rob a group of Diao people, and they could actually make this area of Dongping Village like this, where does this situation seem to be more than a dozen thieves! It was like hundreds of thieves had come, and under the light of the fire, there were figures scurrying around for two or three miles, and it was impossible to tell who they were.
In short, this effect frightened the people in Dongshan Village, some rich families in the village, hurriedly called the villagers to the village wall to guard, the big blacksmith shop outside the village was closed the courtyard door, beckoning people to go up the wall to resist the invasion of thieves, the sound of the alarm gong was tight for a while, and the sound spread far and wide.
Yu Xiaotian didn't plan to rob the money, seeing such a chaotic scene, not only was he not afraid, but he was a little happy, this time it was a big trouble, the officers and soldiers of Dinghai City in the province came here after learning the news, and it seemed that the people in Dongping Village did not dare to come out, this time it was convenient for them to do things, and it was good to fish in troubled waters! So he simply stopped dodging and dodging, and directly led people to escort these rescued "Diao people", and swaggered straight to the place where they landed.
Before they could take the people to the beach, these kidnapped "Diao Min" realized what they wanted to do, and suddenly a middle-aged man sat on the ground, refused to go anymore, crying and shouting: "They are pirates! This is to tie up our meat tickets! Can't go! You can't go even if you kill me! ”
This string of people was dragged by him like this, and they all stopped immediately, Yu Xiaotian was in a hurry to leave here, and when he went up, he slapped him on the back with a knife, and scolded: "Bastard! Want to die? It's okay if you don't go, now Lao Tzu will kill you! ”
I didn't think that this middle-aged man was a dead eye, and after taking a beat, he actually stalked his neck and shouted: "Kill it!" Anyway, I don't want to be a pirate for anything! ”
Yu Xiaotian didn't expect that there was really someone who was not afraid of death, this time he was a little numb, he didn't want to kill people, but if he didn't kill this guy, others would follow suit and refuse to get on the boat, in that case, they would be in big trouble.
For a while, Yu Xiaotian was really a little entangled, and he couldn't help but start a war between heaven and man in his heart, and his conscience told him that he couldn't kill people so casually, but another voice shouted, if you don't kill this guy, you can't scare these people!
Yu Xiaotian has always believed that there must be a bottom line in life, but now ......
Suddenly, Yu Xiaotian strode forward, and a knife handle hit the back of the middle-aged man's head, knocking this guy with a muffled snort, and his body fell to the ground softly, Yu Xiaotian took a knife and slashed, pointing at the remaining few people wearing this string and shouted: "You drag him away!" If anyone dares to delay, you will all die! ”
These people were still watching the limelight, but now they saw that Yu Xiaotian was a fierce man, so they didn't dare to delay any longer, and the rest of the group of people quickly moved again, regardless of this stunned guy, dragged him and followed Yu Xiaotian's people towards the beach.
Things were really as Yu Xiaotian expected, they made things so lively, but there was no movement in Dinghai City, and even here in Dongping Village, no one came out to investigate the situation, and they all beat the gong vigorously, as if they wanted to scare the thieves away with the sound of the gong.
I don't know what Lu Dao is, Dongping Village suddenly sounded a bang, Yu Xiaotian turned his head to look, but he didn't find that there were shells falling towards their location, I guessed that I didn't know who Lu Dao was, I was too nervous, I actually went off the fire and lit the cannon.
As a result, after a cannon shot, after a short while, a series of guns and cannons rang out in Dongping Village one after another, making it seem as if someone was really attacking their Zhuangzi.
In this way, in the sound of cannons in Dongping Village, Yu Xiaotian successfully escorted these forty or so people to the beach and returned to the place where they landed.
Liu Laoliu stood on the shore anxiously, seeing that Yu Xiaotian had brought so many people back, he was relieved, and after a brief glance, he saw that the people he brought were all back, so he stopped Yu Xiaotian and said urgently: "Xiaotian, why did you make such a big fuss?" ”
Yu Xiaotian looked back at the area of Dongshan Village, which was full of fire, and said with a wry smile: "How do I know the Dao?" As soon as our side made a move, they made a mess of themselves, no wonder we did! Hey!
Hey? What about Uncle Meng and the black heads? Are you back? ”
Liu Lao Liu smiled bitterly and said, "It's back when you're back!" Unexpectedly, this blacksmith was ruthless enough, kicked Lao Meng on a big heel, kicked Lao Meng lame, not to mention, his head was broken, and he was sent to the ship by the black head at this time! However, Lao Meng still brought back the blacksmith's family of three! It's already in the cabin!
By the way, how did you bring back so many people? I can't stuff it on the boat! ”
Yu Xiaotian then thought that their ship was just a brig, and it could hold up to forty or fifty people, and now he tied forty or fifty of them, and he really couldn't fit them!
So he turned his head to look, and no one came towards them, so he gritted his teeth and ordered to go down, and immediately pick it on the spot, and the younger ones should stay, and the other old and weak ones should be let go directly.
After a long work, a group of younger, healthier-looking men were chosen, re-tied by their wrists, led down by blackheads, and driven onto the boat, while the rest were left ashore by them.
As soon as the remaining of these chosen people saw that the thieves did not want them, they scattered and ran away as if they had been pardoned, and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Yu Xiaotian was about to turn around and get on the boat, but at this time, a thin young man trembled behind him and asked, "Good man?" The little one wants to ask, do you care if you have enough to eat? ”
Yu Xiaotian was a little surprised, turned his head to look at the thin man who was picked up, and nodded: "Of course it's full!" What do you do? What is it called? ”
The dirty thin man replied tremblingly: "The little one is called Xu Honest, and the one who is small is a carpenter!" ”
Yu Xiaotian didn't say a word, turned his head and shouted, "Han Xian, take him on the boat!" ……”
Xu Laoshi was still trembling and sitting on the boat, retching from time to time as the ship swayed, he had never been on a boat before, let alone taken such a boat to sea, and when he got on the boat, he began to regret it.
The taste of seasickness is really uncomfortable to death, what he just eats, he vomits almost at this time, and the feeling of dizziness makes him die at this time, and he can't wait to simply jump into the sea and drown and pull down, and save such a life to suffer.
But the instinct for survival still dispelled his idea of jumping into the sea to seek death, and he lay on the deck with self-restraint, not opening his eyes as much as possible, and more or less alleviating the feeling of seasickness.
But on the whole, he still thinks that these thieves are not bad, after taking them on the boat, he did not abuse them, let alone treat them like pigs and dogs, when the ship anchored back to the sea together, someone brought them hot rice porridge, although there is more brown rice in it, but the rice porridge is very thick, not like the kind of gruel that they ate when they were building roads, there was actually a little salty sea vegetables in it, and what surprised them was that there was still a little salted fish and meat in it!
This is undoubtedly a huge temptation for those of them who have not seen meat once or twice a year, so these people who were still worried about their future fate exploded and rushed to fight for this bucket of rice porridge.
Xu is honest and willing to follow him on the boat, not because he is willing to be a thief, but in the past few months, he has been really hungry, since the day of the flood at home, he has never felt that his stomach is full, and hunger no longer tortures his stomach, rules his thoughts, and controls his behavior.
After being caught here to build roads as a Diao Min for some reason, he was thinking about eating all the time, and when these pirates escorted them to the beach last night, he was very numb, not caring about his future, and only thinking about one thing, that is, when these pirates would give them food!
But he never thought that after the pirates escorted them to the beach, they would actually choose him, knock him out of the game, and let him leave on his own, but he really didn't have the strength to go, so he tentatively asked the tall pirate if he would give him food.
In his opinion, it doesn't matter what he does, as long as he has food to eat, so he was taken on the ship again, and after getting on the boat, he was in a daze, I don't know if the pirates will count when they will give him food, but they didn't expect that soon after dawn, the pirates sent fragrant rice porridge to them.
Xu Laoshi struggled to stand up, and was surrounded by others and walked towards the rice bucket, but he was single and weak, and he was originally angry, so he didn't dare to go up and fight at all, for fear of being beaten by others, but what he didn't expect was that someone quickly came forward to stop the chaotic scene of grabbing food, and several pirates shouted loudly to order them to retreat, and asked them to line up to receive the meal one by one.
This is for this group of people who have never known what the rules are, simple can not be a simple queue, it is undoubtedly a very new thing, although under the loud scolding of the pirates, they tossed for a long time and did not line up a decent formation, and then they were still the big man who seemed to be a big boss came over, dragged them one by one, and pulled them to the designated position, which can be regarded as two rows of crooked queues on the deck.
Someone brought over a basin of clean dishes and chopsticks, filled the meal with a spoon, and handed it to them one by one, so that Xu Laoshi got a bowl of hot rice porridge, smelling this bowl of fragrant rice porridge, Xu Laoshi couldn't care about anything else, and quickly sat down on the side of the boat, and ate it in a big gulp, for fear that he would not be able to finish it for a while, so he was robbed by those people again.
He doesn't seem to have eaten such fragrant rice in his life, the rice porridge has a salty taste, there is a natural rice fragrance, as well as the salty and umami taste of seafood, and the smell of salted fish that is so strong that it rushes straight to the nose, so that Xu Laoshi almost swallowed his tongue, and after eating, he licked the bowl clean with his tongue, and felt that he was still unfinished, and he really wanted to eat another bowl, so he could only look in the direction of the rice bucket.
I thought this would be over, but I didn't expect that the man who looked like a big leader would actually point at him and say, "You come out, serve him another bowl!" ”
For a while, Xu Laoshi almost felt that he had heard it wrong, so he quickly turned his head to look around, and after a while, he was sure that the man was indeed referring to him, so he walked out with a rice bowl trembling and handed the bowl to the person who was cooking.
Then a bowl of rice was handed over to him, Xu Laoshi believed that what the big leader said when he got on the boat was not a lie to him, and there was indeed enough food here! So he burst into tears, choked up on the bowl, knelt down and thanked the tall man with a black turban wrapped around his head.
"Not necessarily! Who made you a craftsman? If you are a craftsman, you will be given preferential treatment, and who else is a craftsman? The craftsman can get another bowl of rice! The tall leader then shouted to the rest.
(The second watch, ask for red tickets again, by the way, shamelessly roared, who hasn't collected it, help collect it!) )
